West Middle School, Auburn

West Middle School, Auburn

Found this fantastic little middle school in Auburn, NY. There are two decorative panels, one on each side of the set of three windows in the left section of the building, depicting cogs, a lathe, hammer, a plane, a trowell and a measuring tape. Perhaps the building was originally a trade school.

  1. An amazing blog! I recommend you to visit some south american capital, like Montevideo, Buenos Aires, Santiago, there's pretty much art deco around there!

    Saludos!

  3. Thanks for the comments Agustin & J Bar.

    I know that South America is a big hole in my art deco travel. I've only seen glimpses but I know there is lots of fantastic deco architecture there. Anyway I hope to fill that hole, at least partially, next year.
    Obrigado!
